﻿educate yourself, save others.﻿

By Klara McKee - ProLife Youth BloggerOkay, so there are many different forms of contraception. There are many methods including but, not limited to, pills, implants, IUDs, abstinence, sterilization, and condoms. But, do we really know where to draw the line while being prolife?

Many women use birth control for medical reasons, I being one of them, either to seize cramps, help reduce cysts, and many more reasons. While many beliefs are against birth control, mine are not yet, my morals are. An abortifacient is something that causes an abortion. The term abortion to me, is killing a fertilized egg, which has its own DNA. So, in that case, I do not believe in the use of many forms of contraception.

Now, in my eyes birth control should only be used to stop ovulation, if used as a method for not conceiving a child. Now, if the method of contraception chosen were to not allow a fertilized egg attach to the uterus, that is wrong. Once a baby has its own DNA it is a child at that point, not just an egg and a sperm.Now, you may ask, what kind of contraception do I believe in? I believe in the following; abstinence, the implant, sponge, pills, ring, breastfeeding, cap, condoms, diaphragm, female condoms, Fertility Awareness- Based (FAM), outercourse, spermicide, female and male sterilization, patch, and the shot. The reason I believe in these methods is due to that most prevent ovulation and thicken the cervical mucus to prevent the fertilization of the egg.

What I do not believe in is the following; IUD, Morning-After pill, and the pull out method. The reason I do not agree with the IUD is because it does not allow the fertilized baby to implant in the uterus, and that is the same with the Morning-After Pill. Also, the pull-out method is just completely unsafe. The reason I believe this is because one word, pre-cum. If you have never heard of pre-cum, it is the semen that is released before a man reaches climax.This month, I hope you take a second look at different birth control methods and what you put in your body. Don’t feel like you have to agree with all my views, but please, look at things from a different perspective.

Klara,
You article surprised me. I found it under-researched and many faulty facts. Our personal "opinions" do not equal truth, our personal "opinions" are not scientific fact.

You state, "The reason I believe in these methods is due to that most prevent ovulation and thicken the cervical mucus to prevent the fertilization of the egg." You just grouped 17 different types of birth control in one general comment. Some of these types of birth control are similar. However, some types (abstinence, male sterilization, fertility awareness) of birth control that you mention would in no way produce these results. Also, thickened cervical mucus indicates a woman's "fertile time" in her cycle and increases chances of conception. Cervical mucus assists semen in reaching the egg. In brief, thickening of the cervical mucus does NOT prevent the fertilization of the egg, it actually assists in the fertilization of the egg.

You contradict yourself in saying, "I do not agree with the IUD is because it does not allow the fertilized baby to implant in the uterus, and that is the same with the Morning-After Pill." the birth control pill does just that as well. Scientific fact.

Please do your research next time.

Hello, I am sorry that I had wrongful information. I must have interpreted it wrong from what information my doctor gave me. I also, talked to my brother and his girlfriend (they are both studying to become doctors and she happens to be studying to become an OB/GYN) and that is also information that they gave me.

Most of these forms are morally wrong, anyway. I will present three arguments for my case, in hopes that I might make some sort of logical sense for this subject.

First and foremost, sex is designed for one purpose: procreation. That is the whole point. Yes, it does strengthen the bond between husband and wife, but that is not why it evolved. Reproduction is it's primary goal. To do anything besides abstinence is unnatural, and consequently immoral.

Secondly, what is the difference between killing an unborn child and preventing him from even coming to be? Suppose one has an acorn, and plants it in the soil. Abortion is the trowel that pulls the acorn back out. Contraception is the tarp put over the ground, preventing the acorn from developing. Either way, the acorn does not grow, and it's primary purpose and destiny are destroyed.

Lastly, we all have responsibility. We have responsibility to our spouse, our children, and ourselves. Contraception shows a lack of all three of these. It shows that you can not possibly be open to life, even though you are pro-life. All it shows is that a person wants the pleasure, but not the responsibility for his actions. A person wants sex, but not the most important fruit of the act. As can be seen, this is quite an act of poverty!

In conclusion then, contraception is fundamentally opposed to the pro-life cause. People should be taught to make good decisions, instead of taking advantage of their partner. Did you know that contraception is the reason that abortion came to be in the first place? Or why things such as pornography are so rampant in our culture today? It promises sex without consequences, and a complete disregard for human dignity and self worth.

God Bless you all, and I hope this cleared up any confusions!
